For example, we have an artisan chocolatier in a town of 350 people.

Quote from @Deborah Brancheau: If you send me a PM I can get you in touch with some companies and foundation people in that area.

I think too many people move on to property number two and three before property number one is really in good shape and later they regret it.

This is a great place to learn and to connect with people so take advantage of all the great resources.

Most people living in far north suburbs of DFW are not working downtown. 

Not a big sub to fan and definitley not a fan of people trying to wholesale deals off of the MLS.

I can see many people's recommendations in the other thread being focused on house hacking, which makes sense to me. 

The people that run these companies usually come from an "investment banking", real estate, or construction background.

I also have no interest in being in the car wash business, or the laundry business, or the AirBnB business, things like that which seem to appeal to a good number of people, but not me.I like to KISS, and just focus on market rate rentals, 12 to 18 month leases.
